Chapter 13222 Demonic Fruit

Cheng Shifei thought for a long time, and finally said in a deep voice: "If this boy is good, he is a talent for our Demon Suppression Mansion. We should protect him well and let him grow well. I will definitely not be stingy!"

His eyes flashed with determination and expectation, as if he had already seen that young man with unlimited potential becoming a pillar of the Demon-Suppressing Mansion one day in the future.

"I hope so. You all go and get busy. It's time for me to practice as well." Long Chen nodded gently with a deep gaze. He used to think that his strength was already outstanding and it was not an exaggeration to call him the best of the younger generation. However, ever since he met the mysterious green-robed strong man, he truly realized how insignificant he was.

The Jianghu, a world full of unknowns and challenges, never follows established rules. Here, there is no fair duel between young and old, and between the old and young. There is only the cruel law of the strong prevailing and the weak being eaten by the strong. You never know how powerful the next opponent who appears in front of you will be.

Therefore, Long Chen knew that only by constantly practicing and becoming stronger could he gain a foothold in this dangerous world. His heart was filled with a sense of urgency and determination, as if an invisible force was driving him forward, never stopping.

"Yes, Young Master!" The three of them responded after hearing this, and then retreated respectfully, each going about their own business. In their backs, they all showed awe and trust in Long Chen, as if under his leadership, the future of the Demon Suppression Mansion was full of infinite possibilities.

Long Chen also turned into a golden light and disappeared. His heart was filled with longing and expectation for the future, and he was also aware of the responsibilities and missions he shouldered. In this vast world, he vowed to become the most dazzling strong man and protect everything he cherished.

……

About ten miles away from the base, there is a strange black swamp. The mud and water in the swamp are extremely dark because of the absorption of a large number of monster corpses. It seems that even the light is swallowed up. The air is filled with a heart-pounding stench and the extremely terrifying magical fluctuations, which make people feel afraid.

When he arrived here, Ling Xiao's footsteps suddenly stopped. He stared deeply at the dark swamp in front of him that seemed to be able to swallow everything. There was a thoughtful look on his face, as if he was weighing some important decision in his mind.

"Brother, we can't go here, it's too dangerous." There was a hint of anxiety and worry in Hua Shan's voice. She tightly grasped the sword in her hand and looked around vigilantly, fearing that any danger would suddenly strike.

Ling Xiao turned his head and smiled at Hua Shan. His smile was full of confidence and a little cunning. "But there are good things in there." He spoke with a hint of uncontrollable excitement, as if he had seen the treasure hidden deep in the swamp.

"What good stuff?" Bai Sha's curiosity was completely aroused. He moved closer to Ling Xiao, his eyes flashing with curiosity and anticipation, as if he couldn't wait to know what the so-called "good stuff" was.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath and looked at the dark swamp again, his eyes flashing with determination. "It should be the legendary magic fruit." His voice was filled with awe and expectation. "I have only read about the magic fruit in books before, but I have never seen the real magic fruit with my own eyes. And this time, I can be said to have truly seen it. The legendary treasure actually exists in this swamp."

"Is it really the Devil Yuan Fruit?" Bai Sha's voice trembled with disbelief, and his eyes flashed with uncontrollable excitement and awe. Hua Shan was also amazed. She bit her lower lip tightly, and her eyes were fixed on the swamp, as if she was afraid that the legendary treasure would disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye.

According to rumors, this Demon Yuan Fruit is extraordinary. It can not only absorb the most violent demonic thoughts and magic power in the world, but also transform these evil energies into the purest and most refined Yuan force. This kind of Yuan force can be absorbed by warriors of any realm and any attribute, and its effect is far stronger than those precious spirit stones. A Demon Yuan Fruit is like a mobile treasure house, which can make warriors' cultivation advance by leaps and bounds.

What is even more shocking is that the growth cycle of the magic fruit is extremely long, and it takes ten years to mature. And every time it matures, the number of fruits produced is extremely limited. But even so, the energy contained in a magic fruit is enough to improve a warrior's cultivation by about ten years. This is an immeasurable huge fortune for any warrior.

This is definitely a good thing, especially for those young and talented warriors, it is a priceless treasure. Ten years of cultivation is not a simple accumulation of time, but requires warriors to pay countless sweat and go through countless life and death tests. Now, as long as you can get a magic fruit, all this will become easy.

Thinking of this, Bai Sha and Hua Shan could not help but feel their heartbeats speed up, and their eyes flashed with a more determined light. They knew that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, they had to get this magic fruit. Because, for them, this was not only an opportunity to improve their cultivation, but also an opportunity to change their destiny.

"But the Black Swamp has always been a restricted area for warriors like us. We dare not step in easily." There was an imperceptible tremor in Hua Shan's voice. She tried to calm herself down and not let greedy thoughts control her reason.

"In the past, some people ignored the warnings and entered without permission, and they never came back. It was like a bottomless abyss that swallowed up lives."

Hearing this, Ling Xiao curled up his lips into a confident smile, his eyes flashing with determination and fearlessness.

"That's you. Don't forget, I'm a demon cultivator." There was a hint of pride in his words, as if the identity of a demon cultivator gave him endless courage and strength.

"I can sense that there are five mature magic fruits on the magic tree growing deep in the swamp. I will keep three to improve my cultivation, and the remaining two will belong to you. You just need to help me protect the law outside and make sure I have no worries."

When Hua Shan heard this, a trace of struggle and hesitation flashed in her eyes.

Of course, she wanted to get the legendary magic fruit, which was an irresistible temptation for any warrior. But when she thought about letting Ling Xiao step into the dangerous black swamp alone, her heart was filled with worry and anxiety.

"You really want to go!" There was a hint of pleading in her voice, as if she hoped Ling Xiao would change his mind. "Although I also want to get the magic fruit, I don't think it's appropriate if it comes at the cost of your safety. Maybe we can think of other ways, and we don't have to take this risk."
